[By the Kidd-O]

Playful and soothing. Great stuff!

DESHIEL responds:

thanks.

[Boss Theme]

Very awesome; very menacing, very metal with a delightfully dramatic end. 5/5.

TeoAcosta responds:

Thanks! :D

[Levitate {Dj-Abbic} [WIP2]]

Great track! Can't really find much to criticize constructively.

Maybe, hmmmm, maybe there's a synth, very high frequency, that IMO stands out a BIT Too much. Only a smidge.

You first hear it at 0:31.

It's a really minor thing in an awesome production, but hey, I'm being constructive here!

DjAbbic responds:

You're right it does stand out a bit, I'll have to find a way to fix that in the final. Thanks for pointing that out :).

[Fanfare of Conquest]

I like the buildup and depth. It expresses a lot for 27 seconds of music. Great work!

samulis responds:

Thanks dude!

[Haunted Houses]

Pretty great!

Love the overall mellow sound. Quite atmospheric.
Sadly I can't really give any helpful critique, I just like it, haha.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Thanks -- glad you liked it!

[Caramel]

I like the textures in those synths. There's a weirdly appealing "analog" vibe to them.

And that "Caramel" drop is really tight! Great stuff!

Jayk-O responds:

Thanks for the review,
I made that with a text to speech synth and a vocoder :3

[MechanicalRonin]

This is fantastic! Extremely strong production. Love how hard hitting it is while retaining interesting melodies and good pacing.

YouriX responds:

Hahahahaha! Im glad you're diggin it man.

[Fleeting Forest Lights]

Very atmospheric piece. Really really good. The reverbs and overall production are great. Those extremely distant and reverby drums towards the end are a hauntingly awesome touch.

Not much to criticize honestly. Great stuff!

Krichotomy responds:

Yay! I'm bad at production, so I'm pleased to get a compliment on it. Also, I'm quite pleased at your appreciation of the deep drums. They're a significant part of the piece to me but I can see other people not caring for them.

[~SW~ Float]

Great piece, very soothing, very bright, very atmospheric. Love the background effects.

SkyeWint responds:

Thanks! Glad you like the piece!

[When It's Cold]

So I'm going through these contest submissions, telling myself"Huh, I think I've got my Top 3 Fan Favorites established", thinking the last ones I still have to review are unlikely to alter my choice, and then this comes up and BOOM, OBLITERATED!

This is immensely beautiful. And then at 1:27 it becomes peculiarly beautiful. And then at 1:33 is becomes hauntingly beautiful. And at 1:48 it becomes profoundly beautiful and at 1:55 it becomes heroically beautiful. And at 2:07 it becomes all the previous types of beautiful into one.

I don't think I've ever heard a song with such a consistently beautiful chord progression in my life.

This gave me chills and almost stole a tear.
Bravo.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Wow! Thanks a million for that inexpugnably beautiful review :'D

It amazes how much positive feedback this song has received, but I still never imagined that this composition could alter someone's choice for the fan favorites!

I love how you pointed out different sections of the piece by describing how beautiful they are, using different adverbs :3
2:07 is actually my favorite part!
I think the main reason as to why this song is beautiful to many listeners, is that the piano is really a live recording. I always feel like I can portray so much more emotion that way :')
(Actually, it's really all thanks to ohtooeasy, for making such a wonderful and inspiring artpiece).

I'm happy that you and many others have liked the chord progression too! Chord progressions are one of the few things that I think I'm pretty good at, when it comes to composing. I still don't think I come close to your level though. You're an amazing musician! So are pretty much everyone that took part of this competition... I am baffled.

Again, thank you for the heartwarming review!
